Wait a minute, why am I alone? Why have I gained 30 pounds?

A movie...based on a self-help book...total recipe for disaster, right? Well, actually...

He's Just Not That Into You is a trendy and (very) light ensemble movie telling the romantic chassé-croisés of various people who are somehow all connected. Most of those individuals seem strangely familiar : Overzealous Single Girl Who's Trying Too Hard, Guy Who Doesn't Believe in Marriage, Insecure Girl Who Falls For Unavailabe Men, Nice Guy Who Keeps Pining For Said Insecure Girl Even Though She Keeps Him Around As A Safety, etc. However, they all one thing in common : when it comes to love, they're all about to discover how clueless they really here.

Like the book, He's Just That Into You doesn't bring anything new to the table. However, where the book was mostly centered on throwing (mostly) brutal truths at the reader, the movie is built on predictable intrigues with characters who are so blind about what's really going on, its almost frustrating. But then again, so is real life. How many times have you gone over every little detail of a date with friends? Or have been told by everyone that he is absolutely going to call when its so obvious that he won't? Or listenened to your friend's continuous girl problems when all you want to do is shake him and tell him to forget that manipulating bitch? Perhaps this is the basis of this movie's appeal. And even though the classic Hollywood ending (nice people are happy, naughty people are alone) brings out the mother of all eye-rolls, you can't help but feeling good about it. If only it wasn't for that moralistic voice-over at the end...but when the movie is based on a self-help book, what else could you expect?

The setting is very chic (who knew Baltimore was so trendy!), the dialogue is quasi-witty, the storyline is simple... shooting this probably felt like summer camp for the A-listers (Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Entourage's Kevin Connolly, Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin, etc.). But for one evening, i'll buy it. Hell, I'll even like it!

BRADLEY COOPER! STOP. PLAYING. DOUCHEBAGS! You're a nice guy at heart, I just know it!
